Several rounds of interviews with multiple people including 1-1 interviews, group interviews, and a white boarding challenge with people from multiple departments and roles. Just a heads up its a pretty long interview process.

I had three total interviews over four months. After my initial phone call with the recruiter, I had two interviews with the same team members over Zoom. My 3rd interview was a 90-minute design challenge. I thought this design test was silly for two reasons: 1) In a normal environment, you can ping pong ideas off of each other. You utilize existing paradigms and have a strong understanding of the systems in place. Designing is a collaborative effort. This test did not feel collaborative in the least. It felt like I needed to solve a difficult challenge that the team was currently facing without the ability to utilize my team for ideas. 2) It felt super rushed. From the start of the call, we were off to the design challenge. Then we ended right at the time with not a minute extra to spare. I felt like I was just another candidate that they were hoping to push through the pipe. Make your interviews more personal and take time to get to know someone you're interviewing. I'm grateful for the opportunity to interview for Blizzard. Although this wasn't a positive interview experience, I wish you guys the best of luck - keep creating awesome stuff!!
